one of the athletes criticise by navratilova in her original piece was rachel mckernan, who became one of the first transgender athletes to entitle —— mckinnon. i spoke to her earlier. after stripping navratilova, is meant a chance was passed up to raise the high profile the competition watchdog says that a of the issues raised. this is not a merger puny sainsbury‘s and as per oui’ new issue. the ioc have considered merger puny sainsbury‘s and as per our code merger puny sainsbury‘s and as per ourcode —— might merger puny sainsbury‘s and as per our code —— might as —— like a this a settled issue for over 15 merger between sainsbury‘s and asda could put up prices. a quick look yea rs. this a settled issue for over 15 years. the time for dialogue for ahead at what else is coming up this people who oppose the inclusion of a evening on bbc news. we will bring chance athletes has come and gone. you the latest from london's 02 this latest piece was unprompted, it arena, where some of british music's biggest stars are gathering this evening for the brit awards. we will was something that she thought hard on and has committed to writing. her also speak to former tornado pilot mandy hickson as the iconicjet desire is forfairness, i think on and has committed to writing. her desire is for fairness, i think the piece ends with that. there have makes its final farewell fly—past over the country. and, as ever, we been others asking for finance. its

will take a look at what is making tomorrow's front pages in the governing bodies have to make a determination, they have to enshrine something in the rules, how would you advise the find a solution that helps to do with a fairness issue, papers. but of course, is also welcoming to all transgender athletes? my work as hello and welcome to sportsday. an activist and academic, but also, it world champion cyclist, is for fairness. i believe that inclusion the headlines this evening. in a of trans—athletes is in the interest trophy cabinet that has regular additions, could it be formica new of trans—athletes is in the interest of fairness. i think it is arrivals this season? the next step inappropriate to set fairness and for a quadruple face manchester city inclusion in opposition to one to germany and the champions league another. i reject the premise in the last 16. minutes it salary thinks first place. the way the regulations work for the ioc is that any sport chelsea are in trouble but he thinks that wishes to compete in the he could have a long—term future at sta mford he could have a long—term future at stamford bridge amid claims he might 0lympics, that national and last another week. it is a gill international organisations also have to meet to decide policy. trans—athletes have have to meet to decide policy. tra ns—athletes have been have to meet to decide policy. trans—athletes have been allowed to storm in barbados, west indies compete at the world level since

dominating the one—day international against england. also coming up in 2004. what a single trans person has ever gone to the olympics since the programme. an lgbt group drops 2004. not a single trans—athlete has gone to the olympic sense 2015, when but other heard comments about the regulations were made easier. changing their athletes. we speak to one of those criticised by the 18 inside, there has been barely a time grand slam winner. anthony handful of tra ns—world champions inside, there has been barely a handful of trans—world champions in any event, masters or elite, over crolla announces his route back to a world title will have to go through the past 20 years. the fear that one of the sports pound for pound trans—athletes will suddenly start dominating podiums is unfounded and kings. irrational. and an irrationalfear of tra ns—people is irrational. and an irrationalfear of trans—people is the very dictionary definition of transfer hello and welcome to phobia. 343-8 is the latest score in sportsday, i'm hugh ferris. it isa it is a weekly could end with manchester city winning a toothy, barbados. 48 overs and do both and that one day international. chris the the first of them of a possible quadruple. pep guardiola says it is gayle hitting a quintessential

a impossible dream. city have four century in that game. england will be chasing that game in barbados. as teams in different competitions and tonight is the tone of the champions far as football is concerned, that league. they are in germany to play schalke. you cannot say at the is an eight o'clock kick—off at the beginning of the year that we will veltins—arena, there is potential for manchester city to keep going win for the x. at the moment, we are happy with where we are but overly for manchester city to keep going for a quadruple. four games in four tournaments for them this weekend. wa nt to happy with where we are but overly want to progress in every round that we are now playing in. that is now commentary on bbc radio five live, the champions league, we want to do kick off at eight o'clock. you can also follow that by at the bbc red well and go to the quarterfinals. we are one step closer to winning. to button. it is all going on in cricket and football, if you have an win all four, that is nearly evening spare, i recommend that is where you pay your attention. much impossible. nearly impossible, he more coming up throughout the said. it has never been done before. evening. for me and a team, it is goodbye for you can hear comity of the match against schalke on radio five live. this is work manchester city take the neck step away to what would be a unprecedented quadruple. danny, you have to say this is the kind of

door... you have to say this is the kind of door. . . they you have to say this is the kind of door... they have been fortunate and all cup competitions so far. to do the quadruple would be remarkable, unbelievable, almost a miracle. is it possible? unbelievable, almost a miracle. is it possible ? 0f unbelievable, almost a miracle. is it possible? of course it is. but i think to win all four you have to be incredibly lucky at some point because all it takes is a mistake, a wonder goal, a slip, a bad refereeing decision. although they are in contention and could conceivably do it, they will need a huge slice of luck. going against what you said earlier, they can't win the quadruple coming maybe it's a fa ct win the quadruple coming maybe it's a fact that it is gain, gain, gain. they are and this magnificent run where they keep going, maybe that will drag on through to the end of the season. can you see them failing to get through this last 16 tie against schalke? i didn't see them losing to newcastle! i think it will

be very difficult. the first leg is a huge advantage, back at the end he had for the second leg makes it a little easier for had for the second leg makes it a little easierfor shall, had for the second leg makes it a little easier for shall, are had for the second leg makes it a little easierfor shall, are having a poor season little easierfor shall, are having a poor season by their standards. i think they are 14th in the bundesliga at the moment, city are flying high. iwill bundesliga at the moment, city are flying high. i will be very surprised if they don't win this game by at least a couple of goes. they have a cup final to look forward to as well. i think everything is slotting in place for manchester city, i think the hardest job will be winning the league. that is out of the control, they can control is liverpool. manchester city one of the clubs in the last 16 action in the champions league. we have the commentary on five live tonight. city's opponents are not as formidable as them. the sporting

director of sporting does a who played schalke in the bundesliga to weeks ago. i think schalke have had a horrible season so far, notjust after the break, but also the first part. they are still in the champions league and the german cup but when it comes to the domestic league, it was a big disappointment considering lee finished second last year. this year, they are fighting against relegation. in the champions league, they have showed that they have quality. 0verall, league, they have showed that they have quality. overall, i think it is the last chance to get their season right. you played against manchester city before at the group stages, so you know very well at the current threat that schalke face. what would be your scouting report if you are talking to schalke today about this game later? i would say it is definitely the most difficult game of the season was up on the other

hand, the eases game because you have nothing to lose. for me, manchester city are one of the top teams in the world. they have so many top—class players. guardiola, for me, is one of the managers the game has about bridges. i think the only pressure will be on manchester city. at the end of the day, i don't see shall go having a big chance going through to the next round. kick—off is at eight o'clock. you can also listen to the match via the red button. the first thing that could prevent manchester city winning that quadruple is chelsea. but you would think that with headlines like these filling the back pages of the newspapers at the moment. but sarri has lost his last three league

games, and have been knocked out of the fa cup. is this to be another story, the short lived chelsea manager? what are through different is that humans can make at chelsea. when it all started for sarri, it was a great start, a bright start at sta mford was a great start, a bright start at stamford bridge. 12 gains went 12 games unbeaten at the start of the season. games unbeaten at the start of the season. they are now down to six in the play money. monday's defeat to manchester united have prompted questions about his future at sta mford questions about his future at stamford bridge. vines do not like that in goal the county is playing out of position. salary has been criticised for his possession —based style, which is known as sarri—ball. chelsea face malmo in the second leg of their europa league tie. the

elite after the first leg. as well as defending that style of play, sally now says that winning matches is the only solution. i use it to win. now, we are in trouble so i can understand very well but that isn't another way. we have only to have good performances and good results. i have to think that i will be the manager of chelsea for a long time, otherwise, i cannot work. salary is planning to be manager at chelsea for a long time, as he says. realistically, just how long does he have at stamford bridge? is he already on borrowed time? he is stubbornly sticking to his system. the fans don't like it, the players are ponderous at times, it is not producing results. he is not

prepared to compromise on that, to try a different system, unless a dramatic change in fortunes happens, then i can't see any other conclusion. he came in late, don't forget. it was onlyjuly when he came in, so quite late before the change manager. he has only really had a couple of players brought in to help him out in terms of new signings to fit the system. ideally, yes, he should get more time. but you don't get more time at chelsea. we know that roman abramovich has a tendency to shake things up when results are not going josie's way. he has made 12 managerial changes in sea takeover in 2003. he is also made five midway through a season. jose mourinho was the first of all of them into us in 2007. lose philippe scolari went around this time ina philippe scolari went around this time in a 2009. the same as andy villas alas, roberto di matteo in 2012 and jose mourinho for the second time. to put that into

perspective, when the chelsea have had 13 managers on their abramovich, here is how many days of the big six have had since 2003. arsenal have just had to, liverpool, six. manchester city, seven. manchester united have had six full—time managers in that period and totte n ha m managers in that period and tottenham have had seven. what you say, these lengthy matches are really crunch time for maurizio sarri. malmo in the europa league, and then on sunday, the league cup final against manchester city. a huge london derby against tottenham after that. a really big one for sarri. if you loses any one of those matches, he really could be in trouble. we will be keeping a close eye on the next ten days or so. let's have a look at the other stories on sports day to stop the

deadline for cardiff city to make the transfer fee for emiliano sala has been extended. cardiff are withholding payments while the seek clarification on details of the accident. richard kilty has been given a special invitation despite be not selected for the british team. kilty is the defending champion, he thought to meet the qualifying time set by british athletics. he is recovering from injury but says it is phenomenal he is getting the chance to run. steve stricker was named as a captain of the us team for 2020 as they try to reclaim the cup in his home state of wisconsin. the sfa could be asked to consider proposals to introduce foreign referees into the game. 0fficials

are said to be furious. scottish football bus men in the middle. but the season, i have found themselves heavily criticise. so much so that the standard of refereeing was discussed at a pretty fiery meeting here on monday. all 12 clu bs were fiery meeting here on monday. all 12 clubs were here, the sfa, and the head of refereeing. although not officially propose at that meeting, the ideas of bringing referees into scotla nd the ideas of bringing referees into scotland outwith the shores is being discussed by some as a top of our game. one top—flight official who didn't want to be named said it was an insult. he told bbc scotland: the message that would be sent out is that our referees are not

competent enough to referee football in ourown competent enough to referee football in our own country for whatever reason, our rebuys, are we corrupt. we just not good enough to do it? isn't that the message that we are not enough to referee our own games. those that suggested the idea is tell me that adding to their numbers can only help referees, no matter where they are from. others wanted to remain scottish. i feel these because the need now is absolutely intense. give these guys a break, let get behind them. it is likely most let get behind them. it is likely m ost clu bs let get behind them. it is likely most clubs will and the idea is unlikely to comply. 0nce most clubs will and the idea is unlikely to comply. once again, irresolution is needed. chris put two cousins of the universe boss. he has been dispatching builders helping the west indies to a very competitive

score in their 50 overs later. her they are. ——. herthey are. ——. english her they are. ——. english should have finished their bowling but so many balls have disappeared over the boundary. they had to bring on a whole lot of balls during the innings. gill out for 135, he whole lot of balls during the innings. gill out for135, he has been excellent today. gail hit 12 sixes, west indies havejust been excellent today. gail hit 12 sixes, west indies have just struck another one, but is 20 sixes they have hit in their innings in all. a lightning fast it's viewed for the west windies, not that they have a lwa ys west windies, not that they have always needed to use it. 328—7 is the latest score.

an organisation which campaigns for lg bt an organisation which campaigns for lgbt people an organisation which campaigns for lg bt people hashed an organisation which campaigns for lgbt people hashed out martina navratilova. the 18 time grand slam winner wrote it was cheating to allow transgender women to allow them to compete in women sport as they had unfair advantages. navratilova's would have been widely criticised called tra ns—phobic despite her role as a long—standing campaigner for gay right after she suffered abuse after coming out in the 1980s. there has been some support for navratilova. paula
